Honestly, I'm kinda scared of success
'Cause the bigger I get, the better I gotta dress
And the more people I gotta address, which leads to more stress
And less time with people that I love most
Here's an up-close look at this cut-throat business that'll rip out your heart like an artichoke
You read the article, heard what the artist wrote
Especially the part about life called inaudible
Now you blindsided like L.T. did to Theismann
Say goodbye to your dreams, there goes the Heisman
See, a lot of us weren't meant for the spotlight
It's too hot, it can make your heart not right
And while I wrestle with the pressures from this world
While being a role model to these precious boys and girls
I frequently second guess and question it all
That's when I have to go back to the call
Chorus:
In moments like this I wanna quit fighting
'Cause everything's wrong
I can't make it right and
It keeps getting worse
I'm wondering if it's even worth fighting for
I'm not so sure
You ever feel like life's leading you on?
And every good thing that ever happens goes wrong?
And every risk you take becomes a mistake
Leaves you asking, "Will I ever become something great?"
See back in school they told me that I would
Never told me how, they just told me that I could
Thought it was guaranteed even if I didn't try
But like is like a Mike Tyson punch to the eye
One minute you fine and you ridin' in the fast lane
But over time that lane becomes the crash lane
And misfortune, it can stab you like a back pain
Set you back, like back when they made black people ride the back of the bus
But like gas prices we can get it back up
Moments like this got me saying that enough is enough
But I guess the tough get goin' when the goin' gets rough, huh?
Chorus:
In moments like this I wanna quit fighting
'Cause everything's wrong
I can't make it right and
It keeps getting worse
I'm wondering if it's even worth fighting for
I'm not so sure
But in moments like this
Keep on fighting
'Cause everything that's wrong
One day will be right and
Our only choice is to believe the Voice that has told us it's worth fighting for
(It's worth fighting for)
These moments that will break us (uh, us)
Are the moments that will shape us (uh, us)
In these moments we will find out
What we're really made of
That we really have what it takes (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm not gonna give up
Not gonna quit though my heart's gettin' ripped up
Keep moving forward, my hands I will lift up
Eyes on the prize, though these earthquakes shakin' my foundation
Are 8.8 on the Richter
But moments like this we can't afford to be quitters
I choose to rely on the strength that my God
Is equipped and swift 'cause it's more than sufficient
Chorus:
In moments like this I wanna quit fighting
'Cause everything's wrong
I can't make it right and
It keeps getting worse
I'm wondering if it's even worth fighting for
I'm not so sure
But in moments like this
Keep on fighting
'Cause everything that's wrong
One day will be right and
Our only choice is to believe the Voice that has told us it's worth fighting for
